To Start Production.
;'"We shall start production at full
speed," Mr. Ohmer" said today.
"Prosperity is here now." Associ
ated Motor Industries believes that
the country was never in better con
dition than and at the present time
to open up factories and begin pro
duction and putting men and women
o work.
There is no question about the
sale of goods after they; are manu
factured at reasonable prices."
"The policy of the corporation,"
Mr. Ohmer said, "is against wage
reduction and at the same time fa
vors price reduction."
"Prices must be reduced, but with
out lowering the wages of working
men and women. Any policy of
"wage reduction is entirely wrong. It
is the human element that is the most
important in any industry. It must
be made possible for wage earners
to make not only the living wage and
the saving wage, but something
more."
Capacity to Be Increased.
According to the announcement of
policies, Associated Motor Industries
will continue to manufacture all the
cars and trucks now made by mem
ber companies. The present capacity
of all plants will be increased. The
manufacturing plants and assembling
units are so situated, it is stated, as
to be able to deliver cars practically
freight free anywhere east of the
Rocky Mountains. The policy an
nouncement states:
:', "Associated Motor Industries will
nianufacture automobiles and trucks
exclusively. It purposes to effect a
; saving in manufacturing costs by
'large quantity, standardized produc
tion, under centralized management.
-. "All our plants are in operation

Civil War Vets' Croquet Club, Using
Gutta Percha Balls, Is Pride of City
Boys of 61 Stage Thrilling
Contests on Court of
Billiard Table
Smoothness.
A I'roquct club, 40 years old, com
puted of octogenarian civil war vet
erans, which uses guttQa percha
balls and leather tipped mallets on
a court so well kept that boards
padded with felt line the boundaries,
is one of the prides of the city oi
Hastings, Neb.
And games are played on this
court almost daily from sunrise to
twilight.
Among the most faithful of the
players is one whose arm was shat
tered by a musket ball in the war of
the rebellion, another whose eye
sight has so failed that he has to tie
his red bandanna handkerchief
acpund the arch so he can see where
to shoot, and still another who
hobbles around with a cane on which
to support himself while making in
tricate plays.
Gamble In "Millions."
Sometimes these veteran croquet
enthusiasts get so worked up over
their game that the neighbors com
plain in fun against their cheers or
friendly wrangling, and the chief of
police, strolling by, has to rebuke
them for their boisterous contests
and warn them against gambling for
such stakes as mythical millions.
The modern youth may have his
pool and billiard tables, smooth with
green felt and padded for banking,'
but he executes no more scientific
clays than do these 80-year-old
youngsters on their carefully groom
ed croquet court
The club has been in continuous
existence for almost 40 years.
James Mauser, now caretaker oi
the G. A. R. hall, says he joined the
club in 1895 and that he first knew of
the organization in 1887, but is sure
the club was active years before
that.
Old Soldiers Predominate.
Tradition has it that the late
Captain Brandon, who came to Ne
braska from Illinois and grew lone
some for the croquet club back home,
gathered about him, comrades of
civil war days and formed the organ
ization.
For many years, the membership
was limited to veterans of the Gran
Army of the Republic. A few years
later, however, a few others were
admitted, but the membership still is
predominated by old soldiers, among
them H. H. Grubb, former Confed
erate soldier, who now wages friend
ly battles with the Yanks of olden
davs.
The first location of the club cro
quet court was at Fourth and Lin
coln streets, where the Baptist church
now stands. When the Baptists
bought this lot, the court was moved
to the spot where the Madgett block
is now situated. There an old cellar
had to be filled in, benches were built
around it to accommodate the crowd
of spectators which invariably
gathered, and the row of box elder
trees cast a cooling shadow in which
the players would sit and rest be
tween games, chatting about "the
war."
Four Charter Members Alive.
When the Madgett block was
started, the club moved to the corner
o.f Burlington and Second, just east
of the Lepin hotel. Three years later,
another move was made to the lot on
Third street between Lincoln and
Fire Destroys
10 Cars of Hay

Employes at Municipal Bath
ing Beaches Charged With
Graft Change in Con
trol Planned.
Des Moines, July 1. (Special
Telegram.) Fire of unknown origin
destroyed 10 cars of hay at Pease
Hay Commission warehouse early
yesterday. The fire was of incen
diary origin. Commission firms
have had three serious fires within
the1 last two months.
Row Over Beaches.
Charges ' that city employes at
municipal bathing beaches are oper
ating concession stands and there are
other grafts within the department
were made at a special meeting of
city council. Charges were made
following, an investigation after com
plaints had been made by citizens
that beaches were being improperly
managed. Control of bathing beaches
will be transferrsd from the city
parks department to the public safety
department at the next meeting of
the council, it is said.
Competition for Sheriff.
Four ex-service men stand out pre
eminently as candidates for republi
can nomination for sheriff, which
will be made tomorrow. Consider
able interest has been aroused in the
election. Election of delegates to
the ninth judicial convention, state
convention and state judicial conven
tion will also be made at this time.
Fix Milk Price.
Following several hours of debate,
representatives of the Des Moines
Milk Producers association and milk
distributors came to an agreement
on the price of milk for the coming
three months. The present basic
price of $2 per 100 pounds will be
paid for the first half of the three
months period and $2.45 per 100
pounds for the last 45 days. This
will make the price to the producer
about $1.80 for the first half of period
and $2.20 for the last half of period.
Representatives of the producers
stated that the agreement was net
satisfactory to them, but that in or
der to relieve any suffering that
might ensue from a strike they ac
cepted the compromise. Fanners
claim that a basic price of $2 per 100
pounds does not meet production
costs.
Holy Rollers Too Noisy.
Citizens living near Seventeenth
and Fillmore streets have asked the
city to prevent negro Holy Rollers
from making excessive noises during
their services. The petition states
they do not object to services ex

House Adjourns
Until August 15
Democrats Force Roll Call but
Lose Fight to Continue
in Session.
Washington, July 1. The house of
representatives adjourned last night
at 9:49 until August 15, thus giving
members opportunity to return home
to look after their campaigns while
the senate still is at work on the
tariff.
Democrats opposing adjournment
almost solidly, forced a roll call.
The vote to quit was 171 to 43, with
two voting "present."
"The democrats having voted with
their fingers crossed, I now move that
the house be adjourned," said Rep
resentative Mondcll, the republican
leader.
There was a shout and a wild race
to taxicabs waiting outside to' rush
members to outgoing trains.
In opposing adjournment, demo
crats insisted the house ought to stay
in session and act on Henry Ford's
offer for lease of Muscle Shoals.
Reviewing "the achievements of
congress," Mr. Mondcll, republican
leader, hit back in the house yester
day at its critics. Declaring that con
gress afforded the most alluring of
all fields for criticism by those "de
nied by popular will" a place therein,
Mr. Mondell added that those who,
disappointed because congress de
clined to accept their views or ac
cede to their demands, found it much
easier to "damn congress than to
defend their own position."
With those who criticised congress
for purely partisan reasons, regard
less of the facts, Mr. Mondell linked
newspaper editors "who, immured in
editorial sanctums, out of an entire
lack of national viewpoint and com
plete isolation from the pulse of na
tional sentiment, consciously or un
consciously reflect the selfish and
provincial sentiment which filters
through the editorial keyhole.
No Mail Delivery on Fourth.
There- will be no delivery of mail
by carrier on July 4, the postoffice
remaining closed as on Sunday, ac
cording to an announcement made at
the office Saturday morning. All per

Rigid Rules.
There have never been any dues
in the club. Any expense is always
met by free will levy of the mem
bers. The hard rubber balls cost as
high as $3 and $4 each. In the early
days of the club, the "dead on a
ball" was in vogue, wooden balls
and mallets were used and it was
legitimate to "bank" a ball from a
board boundary through an arch or
put out an opponent's ball when it
was a "rover."
But as the players became more
and more skilled, they got the rub
ber balls and leather-tipped mallets
and the rules of the game were made
more rigid. No more "deads," no
more putting out of "rover oppo
nents, no more "tight roquets;" the
game became more and more like
outdoor billiards, and the skill of
the players the marvel of Hastings.
Latest Returns
Reduce Lead of
Lynn J. Frazier
Majority for Nonpartisan
Candidate in North Da
kota Estimated at Less
Than 10,000.
Fargo, N. D., July l.-(By A. P.)
Belated reports that trickled . in
from Wednesday's statewide primary
in North Dakota seemed to bear out
early , indications that Lynn J.
Frazier, Nonpartisan, had captured
the senatorial nomination by a ma
jority of less than 10,000 votes.
While Porter J. McCumber, the
state's senior senator, dropped be
hind Frazier in returns tabulated yes
terday, reports from some of the
scattered precincts favorable to Mc
Cumber cut down to less than 2,000
the margin that separated them.
Friends of McCumber here, con
ceding his defeat, admitted that most
of the missing precincts undoubtedly
would be favorable to Frazier, but
insisted the latter's plurality would
fall considerably short of the 15,000
to 20,000 mark league headquarters
have forecast.
Meanwhile Governor R. A. Nestos.
independent, had a lead of 16,000
over B. F. Baker, Nonpartisan, in
theepublican gubernatorial -contest,
independent headquarters declared
last night. There seemed no reason
to alter its prediction of a 10,000
plurality for Nestos.
In 1,741 of the state's 2,064 pre
cincts tabulated in the senatorial
race, Frazier had 76,398 and McCum
ber 74,962, a gain for McCumber
over the last previous totals, due
largely to the "mopping up" of pre
cincts in nearby territory, known to
be favorable to the senator.
Radium Is Reported Found
in Deposits in Switzerland
Paris, July 1. Indication that the
world's supply of radium will soon
be increased and that the price of
the precious element will soon be
correspondingly lowered, is suggest
ed by reports received here that de
posits of uranium, from which radium
is extracted, have been discovered in
Switzerland, and that the exporta
tion of radio-active minerals from
Madagascar is to be increased.

U. S. Prohibition
Officer. -
Local dry workers, not J. C. Kins
ler, United States attorney, are at the
bottom of Friday night's raids on
Uubim Inn and tne City hotel.
That's what U. S. Kohrrr, federal
prohibition enforcement othcer, tie'
dared Saturday. He assumed a scorn
ful attitude toward Kinsler's activity

sleuths to expose the "open lid" in
Omaha.
"Elmer Thomas knew these special
agents were coming to Omaha a long
time before Kinsler ever dreamed of
it," Rohrer declared.
Rohrer also defended himself from
statements he waa ignorant that the
out-of-town agents were working in
Omaha. He admitted he had not
seen them.
, "Knew They Wert Coming."
"But I knew they were coming,"
he said. "I found out they were to
be here when I attended a conference
in Minneapolis a week ago. I was
told then that they would have been
in Omaha sooner, but were held up
by having to appear in court there to
testily-
According to statements of two of
the agents, Francis Lane Moloney
and Maurice Silverman, principals in
Friday "night's raid, however, they
were in Omaha prior to Rohrer's
Minneapolis visit.
The prohibition director is not in
clined to accept the raiding activities
of Friday night as any criticism for
laxity in his department.
'"My men obtained evidence against
the City hotel Friday and would have
made arrests, probably Saturday, if
they weren't beaten to it last night,"
ne said.
No Evidence.
Did you have any evidence
against Dublin Inn?" he was asked.
"No, I did not. No man was ad'
mitted there without a woman with
him and I would not subject my
agents to the possible criticism that
they were running around with wo
men'." he declared.
Rohrer further blamed Kinsler for
the fact that his, Rohrer's, men had
not made more cases than they have.
"Even if our men made 'a buy' at
Dublin Inn, it wouldn't have done
any good because Kinsler heretofore
has refused to accept a buy as suf
ficient evidence for a prosecution.
He has always insisted that we must
have the evidence to show in the
courtroom. Now he goes ahead and
docs only that and makes a grand
stand play."
Denies Rohrer's Charge.
"Couldn't one of your men have
made 'buys' and carried away a pint
of beer in his pocket?" he was asked.
You try it and see," he retorted.
"I don't know how those things are
done. I've never been to one of
those places Kinsler probably has.
I m an executive officer. I'm not
supposed to go out and make the ar
rests." , .
At the United States attorney's of
fice, George Keyser, assistant, denied
Kohrer s charge that Kinsler s office
would not accept "buys," as sufficient
evidence for prosecution.
Samardick Not Here.
"We notified Rohrer six months
ago that if he would have one of his
men go into places like Si Colwell's
and buy a drink, we would file an
information against it," Keyser de
clared. Both prohibition and attorney's of
fices deny rumors that Robert Samar
dick, now working with general pro
motion lorces out ot tne orhce ot
Emerson Hunt of Minneaoolis. dis
trict chief, had anything to do with
the raids. 1
"Samardick is working in Mis
souri; he has no authority here," said
Rohrer.
"Moloney and Silverman were as
signed to work out of this office by
the attorney general," Keyser reiter
ated. Wait for Action.
Eleven persons arrested in the
raids on Dublin Irin and the City
hotel, with Earl O'Brien, part owner
in Dublin Inn, Fred Myers, and
their bondsmen spent Saturday morn
ing twiddling their thums in the fed
eral building while informations were
being made out against them.
Their attorneys, John Baldwin and
J. H. Walker, said they would de
mand jury trials for their clients.
Nine were arrested at Dublin Inn,
including Johnny Lee, local pugilist;

As soon as the informations were
finished, charging them variously
with illegal possession or illegal sale
of liquor and maintaining a common
nuisance, they were all herded into
the clerk's office at the federal build

O'Brien, Myers, Ward and the two
City hotel men at $1,000 each, and
for the others at 5500 each.

papers could be made out.
